It's finally done D:

After what must have been at least a year, I've finally clear-coated it and put it back together. Now that I have the floyd floating above the body, I've finally sorted out all my intonation issues. Also, it doesn't sound too bad :). It'll tide me over till I accquire something a bit more upper-class ;D.

In case you're wondering, the gun is loosely based on a Baretta. Also, the finish was achieved by that stone spray stuff. It's pretty cool, especially if you can't be arsed sanding the body to perfection. Then I just sprayed over it with some cheap gloss green, then a bunch of lacquer.

Back is a tad patchy. Looks better IRL.

As you can see, the action requires a bit of adjustment >___>

Played a show with it last night. It's already had a chip taken out of it. Bastard drummers :p

Looks good. :yesway: Is that a Monterey? I used to own one, they're nice guitars.

Cheers man ;D. And nope, it's a Harley Benton. Cheaper ;D

But yes, I played a Monterey seven string once upon a time, and I was quite surprised by how nicely it played. I do own a Monterey 5-string bass, and it's good at what it does :)

Turned out pretty cool. Good work, man!
The on/off toggle switch for volume is really cool idea.

I think it looks awesome. Can you give a little more detail on what you used to get that texture? It's exactly what I want to do with my strat.

The texture is cool. I like the color, too.
